With baseball shut down because of the corona virus, I thought it would be an interesting time to look back at the all time leaders in both offensive and defensive categories for all 30 teams. We continue today with the New York Yankees.
The Yankees began life in 1901 as the Baltimore Orioles, moving to New York in time for the 1903 season. I’ve seen them play 26 times, first in 1997 and most recently this past June.
